Subject: [PATCH drm-misc-next v6 0/6] [RFC] DRM GPUVM features
Currently GPUVM offers common infrastructure to track GPU VA allocations
and mappings, generically connect GPU VA mappings to their backing
buffers and perform more complex mapping operations on the GPU VA space.
However, there are more design patterns commonly used by drivers, which
can potentially be generalized in order to make GPUVM represent the
basis of a VM implementation. In this context, this patch series aims at
generalizing the following elements.
1) Provide a common dma-resv for GEM objects not being used outside of
this GPU-VM.
2) Provide tracking of external GEM objects (GEM objects which are
shared with other GPU-VMs).
3) Provide functions to efficiently lock all GEM objects dma-resv the
GPU-VM contains mappings of.
4) Provide tracking of evicted GEM objects the GPU-VM contains mappings
of, such that validation of evicted GEM objects is accelerated.
5) Provide some convinience functions for common patterns.
The implementation introduces struct drm_gpuvm_bo, which serves as abstraction
combining a struct drm_gpuvm and struct drm_gem_object, similar to what
amdgpu does with struct amdgpu_bo_vm. While this adds a bit of complexity it
improves the efficiency of tracking external and evicted GEM objects.
This patch series is also available at [3].
[1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/nouvelles/kernel/-/commits/gpuvm-next
Changes in V2:
==============
- rename 'drm_gpuva_manager' -> 'drm_gpuvm' which generally leads to more
consistent naming
- properly separate commits (introduce common dma-resv, drm_gpuvm_bo
abstraction, etc.)
- remove maple tree for tracking external objects, use a list drm_gpuvm_bos
per drm_gpuvm instead
- rework dma-resv locking helpers (Thomas)
- add a locking helper for a given range of the VA space (Christian)
- make the GPUVA manager buildable as module, rather than drm_exec
builtin (Christian)
Changes in V3:
==============
- rename missing function and files (Boris)
- warn if vm_obj->obj != obj in drm_gpuva_link() (Boris)
- don't expose drm_gpuvm_bo_destroy() (Boris)
- unlink VM_BO from GEM in drm_gpuvm_bo_destroy() rather than
drm_gpuva_unlink() and link within drm_gpuvm_bo_obtain() to keep
drm_gpuvm_bo instances unique
- add internal locking to external and evicted object lists to support drivers
updating the VA space from within the fence signalling critical path (Boris)
- unlink external objects and evicted objects from the GPUVM's list in
drm_gpuvm_bo_destroy()
- add more documentation and fix some kernel doc issues
Changes in V4:
==============
- add a drm_gpuvm_resv() helper (Boris)
- add a drm_gpuvm::<list_name>::local_list field (Boris)
- remove drm_gpuvm_bo_get_unless_zero() helper (Boris)
- fix missing NULL assignment in get_next_vm_bo_from_list() (Boris)
- keep a drm_gem_object reference on potential vm_bo destroy (alternatively we
could free the vm_bo and drop the vm_bo's drm_gem_object reference through
async work)
- introduce DRM_GPUVM_RESV_PROTECTED flag to indicate external locking through
the corresponding dma-resv locks to optimize for drivers already holding
them when needed; add the corresponding lock_assert_held() calls (Thomas)
- make drm_gpuvm_bo_evict() per vm_bo and add a drm_gpuvm_bo_gem_evict()
helper (Thomas)
- pass a drm_gpuvm_bo in drm_gpuvm_ops::vm_bo_validate() (Thomas)
- documentation fixes
Changes in V5:
==============
- use a root drm_gem_object provided by the driver as a base for the VM's
common dma-resv (Christian)
- provide a helper to allocate a "dummy" root GEM object in case a driver
specific root GEM object isn't available
- add a dedicated patch for nouveau to make use of the GPUVM's shared dma-resv
- improve documentation (Boris)
- the following patches are removed from the series, since they already landed
in drm-misc-next
- f72c2db47080 ("drm/gpuvm: rename struct drm_gpuva_manager to struct drm_gpuvm")
- fe7acaa727e1 ("drm/gpuvm: allow building as module")
- 78f54469b871 ("drm/nouveau: uvmm: rename 'umgr' to 'base'")
Changes in V6:
==============
- add drm_gpuvm_bo::evicted field protected by the drm_gem_object's dma-resv
lock (Thomas)
- additionally to the original proposal, always use drm_gpuvm_bo::evicted
regardless of the used locking scheme and always keep it up to date
- remove unneccesary get->put dance in drm_gpuva_unlink() (Thomas)
- fix commit message wording (Thomas)
- fix kernel doc warnings (kernel test robot)
